Manipal University Jaipur Secures 139th Spot in NIRF 2025-26 Rankings

Manipal University Jaipur (MUJ) made headlines this month after being placed 139th in the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) 2025‑26 list. The university’s climb into the top 150 institutions nationwide signals its steady progress in academics, infrastructure and research output.

The NIRF ranking, published by the Ministry of Education, evaluates universities across six parameters: Teaching, Learning & Resources; Research & Professional Practices; Graduation Outcomes; Outreach and Inclusivity; Perception; and Industry Connect. MUJ’s performance in faculty‑student ratio, course offerings and industry collaborations contributed significantly to its overall score, landing it in the mid‑range of the national list.

The university’s ranking is expected to boost its appeal for prospective students in Karnataka, including those from Udupi District, who seek quality education without relocating too far. Higher visibility in the NIRF can also attract research funding and corporate partnerships, benefiting the local academic community. Source: Google News – Manipal.
